Quality

Discovery

67%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concise and specific about what the skill does, clearly listing three concrete actions related to ADR conformance. However, it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' clause and could benefit from expanded trigger terms including the full 'architecture decision record' phrase and common user language variations.

Suggestions

Add a 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about ADR compliance, architecture decision conformance, or whether a code change aligns with documented architectural decisions.'

Expand the acronym ADR at least once (e.g., 'ADR (Architecture Decision Record)') and include natural trigger terms like 'architecture review', 'decision record', 'compliance check', or 'documentation updates'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Run ADR conformance checks', 'explain failures', and 'identify required ADR/doc updates for the current change'. These are clear, actionable capabilities.

3 / 3

Completeness

The 'what' is well-covered (run conformance checks, explain failures, identify updates), but there is no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance. The phrase 'for the current change' implies context but doesn't explicitly state when Claude should select this skill.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes relevant terms like 'ADR', 'conformance checks', and 'doc updates', but misses common variations users might say such as 'architecture decision record', 'architecture review', 'compliance check', or 'documentation'. Users unfamiliar with the acronym ADR may not trigger this skill.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

ADR conformance checking is a very specific niche. The combination of 'ADR', 'conformance checks', and 'doc updates for the current change' creates a distinct identity unlikely to conflict with other skills.

Implementation

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-crafted, concise skill that provides clear, actionable guidance for ADR conformance checking. It includes executable commands, specific file paths, explicit validation loops, and a structured output format. The workflow is appropriately sequenced with feedback loops for error recovery.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Every line serves a purpose. No unnecessary explanations of what ADRs are or how git works. The skill assumes Claude knows the concepts and focuses purely on the specific workflow and project-specific details.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides exact executable commands (git diff, adr_guard.py invocations), specific file paths to check (docs/adr/exceptions.yaml, docs/adr/**), and concrete field names for waivers (rule_id, owner, reason, expires_on). Copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequential steps with explicit validation checkpoints: fast guard → fix and re-run loop → guardrail file verification → CI profile as final gate. The feedback loop in step 3 (fix → re-run) is explicitly stated for this potentially destructive/compliance-critical operation.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a skill under 50 lines with a single focused task, the content is well-organized with clear sections (Steps, Output). No bundle files are provided, but none are needed—the skill references project paths directly and doesn't require supplementary documentation.
